Jan. 7, 1930. Y w. E. MATHlsoN ATTACHMENT FOR SMOKERS PIlES Filed July 18, 1927 Patented Jan. 7, 1930 PATENT OFFICE WEGOR E. MATHISON, F CHICAGO, TLLINOIS ATTACHMENT FOR SMOKERS' PPES Application filed July 18,

This invention relates to improvements in attachment for smokers pipe, and one of the objects of the same is to provide an improved attachment adapted to be applied to the pipe and by means of which the pipe may be readily clea-ned, the said attachment being adapted to remain attached to the pipe and at the same time will not interfere with the use of the pipe. A further obj ect is to provide an improved attachment of this character which will be compact and which will not present an unsightly appearance to the pipe, and at the same time may be readily removed if desired.

To the attainment of these ends andthe accomplishment of other new and useful objects as will appear, the invention consists in the features of novelty in substantially the construction, combination and arrangement of the several parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed and shown in the accompanying drawing illustrating this invenl tion, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a smokersv pipe, having a cleaning attachment applied thereto constructed in accordance with the lied form of the invention.

Referring more particularly to the drawing the numeral 10 designates the bowl of a smokers pipe to which the stem 11 is attached in the ordinary and usual manner.

The attachment consists essentially of a body portion 12 constructed of any suitable material, one end of which is bent or curved forwardly as at 13 and is provided with a depending portion 14. The depending portion 14 is adapted to enter a counter-bored portion 15 of the aperture 16 in the bottom of the bowl of the pipe, and the portion 14 of the i., cleaner is provided with an opening 17 therei through which is of substantially the same u' in section and partly broken away, of a modiv pivotally connected as at 26l with a depend- 1 1927. Serial N0. 206,467.

diameter as and registers with the opening 16 extending through the bottom of the bowl, and which opening has communication with a passage 18 in the stem 11. The portion 14; fits snugly within the aperture 15 so that the 55 forwardly bent portion 13 will rest upon the" bottom of the bowl, the body portion of the' cleaning device extending upwardly along the side of the bowl. The upper extremity of the body portion 12 is deflected laterally as at ,60 19 so as to project over the top edge of the bowl and to form a handle. Connected with the handle 19 is a depending portion 2O having a flange 21 which extends on both sides A of the depending portion 2O and is arranged 65 substanti ally parallel with the handle portion' 19. The forward edge 22 of the flange 21 terminates short of the adjacent portion of the body 12 and is adapted to enter a circumferential groove 23 opening through the periph- 70 ery of the bowl 10 adjacent the top thereof.

The rear portion of the flange 21 cooperates with the handle portion 19 and serves as a means whereby the device may be rotated within the pipe bowl.

The body portion 12 is of any desired'` widthand the longitudinal edges thereof are beveled as at 24 to form cutting edges.

When the attachment is connected to the pipe the portion 14 is inserted in the counter.-V 80 bore 15 and the handle 19 projects over the top of the pipe, while the fiange 22 is inserted into the groove 23. This flange may be so inserted by bending or springing the upper portion of the cleaning device. 8

lVhen the flange 22 vis seated in the groove 23 and the portion 24 is in the counter-bore 15 the body portion 12 may be rotated within the pipe bowl by the lingers of the hand engaging the handle portion 19.

The opening 17 being of the same diameter as the opening 16, it will be manifest it will not interfere with the smoking of the pipe, nor will it interfere with the insertion of any cleaning device from either the inside 95 of the bowl or through the bottom of the bowl when the stem 11 is removed.

In the form of the invention shown in Figure 5,- a member 25 is provided which is Y groove 23.

ing portion 27 of the handle 19. The forward edge 28 oi the portion 25 is adapted to project into the groove 23. A spring 29 may be provided intermediate the portions 19 and 25, and this spring 29 tends normally to hold the edge 28 of the member 25 seated within ythe groove 23. lVith this form of the invention it will bemanifestthat .the cleaning device may be readily removed whendesired by swinging theurnembern25,aboutits pivot 26, while in the form of the invention shown in Figures 1 to 4, .the device may be removed, it desired, by springing the upper portion of the cleanerin such av mannerthat, the forward edge 22 will pass out of the lVhile theapreterred forms of the -inven itionhavebeen herein shown andfdescribed,
